  In EU if you passed your test in a vehicle with an automatic transmission you can't drive a manual, unless you re-take the test in one. So that kind of already happened. My point is that if we let teenagers drive fully automated cars,they might find themselves in a truly critical situation they will not be able to get out of, due to their lack of experience and training. People will then say - if they were experienced drivers, and if not for all this automation, they would be able to get out of this situation. Because that's exactly what this article is saying - if the aircraft wasn't as automated, and the pilots had a lot more experience actually flying, they would have realised that the plane was, in fact, stalling, and maybe would have saved it. That does not change the fact that automation, overall, saves more lives than it takes.
